I just wrap up in duvets, wear a beanie, thick socks and I find if I run my ancient Toshiba laptop for 2 hours watching a film it actually gets noticeably warmer. (The laptop processor actually hits 160f), and the trailer is well enough insulated by the time I wake up at 6am it’s cold enough...

Optima’s are great, and I have always used twin marine blue tops (42amp or t4 amp I think) as the cranking batteries but after using a yuasa black ultimate I can’t go back nothing beats them for value and they last forever. In my classic cars that are left standing for longtimes get odyssey...

I feel like an idiot for scrapping my turbo charged 1993 fourtrack f73 now

How do you build rigs? Back story *********** I was recently contacted by a neighbour who had seen my small collection of 4x4’s consisting of LandCruiser 100 Lada Niva Suzuki Jimny Land-rover Discovery 2 And Two Pickups both work cars And asked what I do with them I told them I just explore...

If you have the awning mounted at the same height I recommend 5ft 7in to 5ft 10in, if you are taller you can angle the awning legs to make it higher you definitely don’t want it taller than just above head height because it’s awkward and can hurt if you do it everyday for 4 months, I know from...

MoT’s aren’t that bad, I am pretty good friends with the chap who does all of mine. He doesn’t even check my emissions he has an Audi parked round the side which he uses all the time to get round older cars getting scrapped or failed

May I ask why you lowered the trailer tyre pressure? Surely because it’s a dead rolling weight having more air helps it, the increased footprint just adds more rolling resistance.? I know the benefits on the vehicle

Here’s my two cents, I am building my trailer using the back end from a LR1 so it has a common stud pattern, a stout suspension and posses as an easily strong enough chassis, I am going to weld* a tub on the back with a higher frame to put a RTT on. I am lucky enough to have grown up on a farm...

I like the look of your trailer, I have a quite small obscure overlander which is so short and rides fairly low, but with loads of ground clearance (if you know what I mean) I am planning on sourcing a LR1 from a scrap yard and using the chassis and rear axle, as the bearings and hubs as well...

No, off road it’s nice to have but an LSD or a good traction control can do 99.9% of anything. Look at those new landrovers what with 22 inch wheels climbing all over Moab with a set of Pirelli p zeros and a Starbucks precariously balanced on the laps of the kids on there way to school. Just a...

Hi guys, I found out the hard way about lack of off road parts for a car a accidentally bought after a couple of pints, but ended up finding it quite useful. I am an amateur rally driver and bought a landrover LR1/freelander 1, I paid almost nothing for the car but wanted the most out of it. I...

Have you tried the new goal zero 1400 you can connect up to 400w and it’s a 130amp lithium battery with a 1500w inverter, it’s far better than the old one Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

I have a front runner feather light, south African made one of the best and highest quality on the market. For Street camping in my pickup I fit in diagonally across the short bed Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using OB Talk mobile app

Love your videos, I have been following since the beginning I thought sleeping in a short bed pickup was hard. A sleeping bag fits diagonally my set up is similar to except in an Isuzu at35. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

It's the same base engine as the one you have. I just need to know if it seems reliable, and idles smoothly, and how it pulls when you put your foot down Thanks Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using OB Talk mobile app

Sweet Isuzu, I've finalized my decision to get an Isuzu d-max Arctic trucks 35(stands for tire size) What do you think about how it rides and the engine. Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using OB Talk mobile app

Nitto's on a new range rover. Wow Bet that thing will have stance Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using OB Talk mobile app

I do like maxtrax/sand ladders it's just the ease of putting them under your tire. And partially because I didn't pay for them, they are issued, I'm a 4x4 responder Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using OB Talk mobile app

I always carry my garmin Inreach explorer plus which is a Bluetooth sat phone that can text, email, call, and has extensive maps Also I have my 4 sand coloured/colored maxtrax my 4ft highlift, 13500lbs winch, and ground anchor so I don’t expect to get stuck. I also carry an estwing splitting...

I doubt it will work due to how the computer regulates air pressure depending on if you ask it to rise/lower and even the terrain would affect it. Also it is a closed loop so tapping into it would most likely cause the air suspension to drop or collapse. Any way why on earth are you taking such...
